Bottled tea What could be bad about tea? If it doesn't come from your own teapot, be warned: "Bottled teas are often sweetened with sugar, and many of them are essentially just uncarbonated soda," says Andrea N. Giancoli, registered dietitian and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Need proof? Honest Tea Honey Green Tea has a whopping 18 grams of sugar. And even the Classic Green Tea has 9 g of organic cane sugar.

And while it is possible to find bottled teas without added sugar, you're still missing out on the main reason to drink tea in the first place: the polyphenols. Polyphenols are the antioxidants in tea that can help you with a whole host of beauty and health issues -- but they're in short supply when your tea comes in a plastic bottle. A recent study supported by the American Chemical Society found that a typical cup of brewed black or green tea has 50 to 150 milligrams of polyphenols. But the average bottled tea has only 3 to 81 mg. And since polyphenols aren't listed on nutrition labels, you have no way of knowing how much your bottle has.

My philosophy is, eat all things in moderation . Because some ingredients say all-natural, some people think they are suppose to overdo it, and thats not the case. Whether its white bread or whole wheat, you cant overdo it.

I have celiac disease/ gluten intolerance so I find that it is more difficult to eat healthy. While most foods that fall into the "carbohydrates" contain gluten, you'd think you'd be eating healthier, but no. I find that it's easier to buy the gluten free crackers or cereal or snacks compared to let's say... making a salad. Good article. Great tips!
